Peebles Golf Club

We've had a busy few weeks of visiting parties and we are pleased to share more great feedback from a recent golf day organiser ... delighted to hear you enjoyed your Peebles experience, Keith!

The Tartan Pro Tour Fairmont St Andrews Classic 36-hole lead is shared by Will Porter and Craig Howie 📊

After a tough day for scoring on the Torrance Course, Craig Howie followed up his opening 68 with a second round 71 to go into Wednesday’s final day joint top of the leaderboard on 5-under par.

Good luck tomorrow, Craig! 💪🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

⭐️ Fabulous feedback from one of our visiting parties who enjoyed the Peebles hospitality and the course last Friday! Great recognition for Billy and the catering team 👏🏼

Hole in One Alert. Scot Stevenson aced his first hole in one on the 7th today. He swung a sweetly struck 7 iron with his ball sailing through the rain straight into the hole. Kingsbarns Distillery & Visitor Centre will be sending him a personalised bottle of their Docot Whisky to mark the occasion. Scot has also put two bottles on the clubhouse bar for members to celebrate. Well done Scot! 👏🏌‍♂️⛳️🥃

A huge thanks to Sam and John from our sponsors, who provided halfway house refreshments and hospitality, alongside our team of volunteers who ensured the smooth running of the event with our office staff.

♥️ | On behalf of the French family, we are delighted to announce that this year’s Gary French Memorial Golf Day raised an amazing total of £11,752 – a fantastic effort from everyone involved in organising and supporting the day.

This brings the three-year fundraising total to an incredible £40,382, with all proceeds going towards the British Heart Foundation - Scotland.

Gary’s daughter Emily said: “We are overwhelmed with the support we’ve had for this year’s event in July, and also over the last three years. We are grateful to all the members, visitors, sponsors and other supporters who contributed to such an important cause, and the legacy that Dad has left. I’m sure everyone who took part in the day would agree it was great fun with so many people in the clubhouse until late at night, and a day that Dad would certainly have loved!”

“We had amazing support from so many people, from hole sponsors to companies who donated great prizes for the auction and raffle, the golfers who played on the day and the many volunteers who helped out on the day. The family would like to thank everyone for making the event so memorable over the years, and we’re very proud of our efforts in hosting such a big event in Dad’s name. We know our chosen charity, the British Heart Foundation, are also immensely grateful and the money raised will make a difference to the great work they do in Scotland."

The event in July was the last in its current fundraising format, but the Gary French Memorial Cup will continue to be part of the club’s fixture list for members to play in.
